North Korean Suicide Soldiers: A New Threat in Ukraine?
Following a recent battle in Kursk, Ukrainian forces discovered evidence suggesting North Korean soldiers fighting alongside Russia are engaging in self-detonation upon capture. This is corroborated by testimonies from defectors and intelligence reports indicating widespread brainwashing and a willingness to sacrifice oneself for Kim Jong Un. Ukrainian assessments suggest approximately 11,000 North Korean soldiers have been deployed, with significant casualties, and videos of captured soldiers have been released. The deployment marks North Korea’s most significant military involvement since the Korean War, raising concerns about their combat readiness and the potential consequences for regional stability.
